KEPT WEDDING SECRET SINCE FIRST OF JULY.

Miss True George and Hurley Beam Were Married on That Date by Minister at Wheaton, 111. Late yesterday afternoon somebody let the cat out of the bag and the belated news quickly spread over town of the marriage of Mr. Hurjey Beam and Miss True George. The city of St. Joe, the Gretna Green of Michigan, does not enter into the story at all as this marriage surprise was the culmination of several years of courtship. On the first day of July, 1911, Miss George went to Chicago to “vipit friends” and was met by Hurley. They proceeded forthwith to Wheaton, HL, where Hurley procured the marriage licence and they were married by Rev. Robert Sheppard, at the Presbyterian manse. Miss George, or rather, Mrs. Beam, returned home on the 4th of July, but took nobody but the George and the Beam families into her confidence. True has been a trusted employe of the Jasper Trust & Savings Bank for a number of years and her industry and genial disposition has given her a wide popularity among her employers. Hurley is a clerk in the billing department of the Monon freight Office at Chicago and has had two promotions since he started to work there, last June. He is a very capable young man and a born leader among his associates. Mr. and Mrs. Beam have made no definite plans as to their future home as the secret came out so unexpectedly, but The Republican takes voice With jheir many friends in wishing them a happy and prosperous married life. *

Cinders to Give Away.

Those who want cinders for the hauling can get them from the K. of P. building by inquiring of Moses Leopold, agent. Donald, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Dickey, of Shelby, brief mention of whose accident was made in this' paper a few days ago, is said to be certain of losing the sight of one eye, as a result Of having- fallen with a hatpin in his hands. The parents took the little chap to a Lafayette hospital for treatment and the disappointing word comes from there that the eye can not be saved. Peter Dopi, of Indiana Harbor, who was convicted of arson and sent to the penitentiary, was last week pardoned by Governor Marshall. The Lake County Tibies says that neither the court that heard the trial, nor the prosecuting attorney knew that the pardon board was considering the pardoning of Dopi until he was free and walking the streets of Indiana Harbor. The Times goes after Marshall’s prison delivery system severeM’.■.

TRIBE OF BRAZILIANS PAID US SHORT VISIT.

Dirty Bunch of Gypsies Chased Ont of Town After Stealing $lO From Harry Kresleik. About noon today twelve wagon loads of gypsies drove in from the north and no sooner had they driven through Washington street that the stores and shops were fairly swarming with female gypsies, They were about as nervy a band as has been here for years and they all seemed to be sadly afflicted with the “itching palm.” One woman touched Frank Morrow for 50 cents and carried away a corn cob pipe from the G. E. Murray grocery, but the eyer-alert Vern Haas was on the job and recovered it. While Harry Kresler was working in his barber shop a woman came in and removed a bill book from his pocket. He made a grab for her but she succeeded in getting away with a ten dollar bill, which was exposed to view. Sheriff Hoover paSbed the shop a few minutes later and on being told of the theft he caught the woman whom Kresler identified and took her to Squire Irwin’s office. Kresler swore out a warrant for her arrest and the trial was set for 1:30 o’clock. The women were very eloquent with gestures in their plea of innocence but very few could understand their “lingo.” The two leaders of the band were then called in and after seeing that they might have to go to court they restored the money to Mr. Kresler to get out of trouble. C. A. Tuteur, acting as prosecuting attorney, then dismissed the case. They were a bad lot of gypsies who seemed to be pretty well v rsed in court proceedings. They left town immediately after the case was settled.

More About the Sudden Death of W. W. Matheny.

W. W. Matheny, whose death occurred suddenly Monday noon, from a suffocation of the chest, which caused the heart to cease beating, was not alone* at any time Monday morning at incorrectly stated in The Republican article about his death, fie had been so, much downcast since the death of his wife that he had become physically weakened but he was not regarded in great danger until Sunday evening, following supper. He had difficulty in getting his breath and was in great pain and the famfly phisician was called. After a quieting dose of morphine was given be improved some and passed the night fairly comfortably. Monday forenoon he slept quite a little, members of the family watching Mm constantly. He seemed to be feeling greatly relieved and shortly before noon said he wanted to Walk out into the yard. His sons, Lee and Emerson, went out with him and they Walked about the yard. A little later he said that he wanted to go back into the house and they assisted him in and he complained of being tired and the sons took off his overshoes and coat While they were doing this he passed away.

Artificial Limbs On Display At A. F. Leng’s Drag Store.

S. F. Wood has placed in a window at A. F. Long’s drug store two artificial limbs, which will doubtless attract attention from many. They are small limbs but the company of which he is the head are making limbs to order of any size and Mr. Long is the local agent. Mr. Wood is a former Jasper county boy and lost his right leg while working on the Jim Yeoman farm some fifteen years ago. He has been engaged in the limb making business for several years and makes a limb with excellent joints and he guarantees to keep them in condition for five years and states that they should last for ten or twelve years. While here he will look after several jobs. An effort is being started to procure a limb for Henry Neville, whose condition is now such that be can get about on crutches and who can wear the limb without injury after ten days. Mr. Neville is of course, without funds, having depended upon his daily labor for a living prior to the time when he was incapacitated by the loss of bis leg. Many have signified their willingness to contribute toward this end and it is probable that a paper will be passed today or tomorrow. . Should anyone care to communicate with Mr. Wood, bis home address Is 161 Griswold St., Detroit, Mich.

Hoover Stock Co. Gave Good Show at Ellis Last Night.

The Hoover Stock Co. played to a fair sized audience last night at the Ellis theatre. “The Power of Politics” portrayed vividly the modern methods used by big political machines and unveiled the corrupt practices resorted to by the political bosses who fiourish in the large cities. The .acting was of a high order and the Hoover Stock Co. proved to be one of the best .stock companies playing in repertoire that has been here for some time. Between acts Paul Zallene entertained with a bit of comedy juggling that was very This company usually plays larger rities, but they had a misunderstanding in their dates and were fortunate enough to find the Ellis theatre vacant for a week. They will probably be greeted by a large house tonight.

Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Wood and Mrs. Julius Taylor attended the funeral at Delphi yesterday of Harvey Beetle, an aged negro who tor many years was engaged in the horse buying business and who was quite .well known in this county by reasons of buying trips, he made to this city. He was 75 years of age on Feb. 27th, and was a native of Carroll county. The Delphi Times says of him: “His honest, straighforward dealings; and his word were his strongest assets and whatever he told you he would do you could depend upon.” The funeral was conducted at the late residence just east of Delphi by Rev. A. H. DeLong, of the M. E. church and burial was made in-the Odd Fellows cemetery.
